Hi,
well that document has been created in an era when it was not common to
explictily specify licensing terms for a text documents, default
copyright law could be applied.
Would be CC BY-SA 4.0 license OK for you: If so as the principal author
of "howto" I'm licensing this document under CC BY-SA 4.0.
Cheers,
Jirka

Subject: Licensing and packaging clarification needed for DocBook5
Hi,
During a conversion of licenses in Fedora repositories to SPDX licenses, we
have encountered several issues regarding the licensing and packaging a few of
the files present in the docbook5-style-xsl and docbook5-schemas packages. [1]
What is the license for the Perl script "db4-entities.pl"
("docbook-5.0/tools/db4-entities.pl")?
We are unsure under which license is the "howto" documentation ("DocBook V5.0:
The Transition Guide") distributed. What is the license for these files?
We found several JAR files. Can you explain their purpose in the repository? If
they are required for some DocBook extensions, please assist us in compiling
them, as we cannot package ".jar" files in Fedora, because guidelines prevent
us from packaging binaries.
extensions/lucene-analyzers-3.0.0.jar
extensions/xalan27.jar
extensions/saxon65.jar
extensions/lucene-core-3.0.0.jar
extensions/tagsoup-1.2.1.jar
extensions/webhelpindexer.jar
tools/lib/calabash.jar
tools/lib/saxon.jar
tools/lib/isorelax.jar
tools/lib/xalan/xsltc.jar
tools/lib/xalan/xalan.jar
tools/lib/xalan/serializer.jar
tools/lib/saxon9he.jar
tools/lib/commons-codec-1.3.jar
tools/lib/jing.jar
tools/lib/ant-contrib-1.0b3.jar

tools/lib/commons-logging-1.1.1.jar
tools/lib/saxon9-ant.jar
tools/lib/jython.jar
tools/lib/xmlresolver.jar
tools/lib/commons-httpclient-3.1.jar
tools/lib/xercesImpl.jar
Clarification on the licensing and purpose of these files

We need all the aforementioned points clarified to ensure that the DocBook is
packaged in new Fedora versions correctly. There are some licenses that are not
allowed in Fedora, and also we can not ship binaries in case of the .jar files.
Also, I found this email [email protected] that might be more
suited for this question, but I was not sure, so forum post might be better
first step. If it would be possible to clarify whether I should ask this
question by messaging that e-mail address, it would really help.
